Mason was born via emergency c-section due to sever fetal distress. As a result of being stuck in my birth canal, he ended up with perinatal asphyxia,shock and head trauma. When he was 3 hours old they tested his blood sugar, this was low.
To cut a long story short, he produces too much insulin now and is on Diazoxide to control it, aswell as cornflour (like a low GI) in his night bottle. This conditon can be serious, he can have seizures, coma, heart attack just to list a few things. His sugar levels have to be tested after more than 6 hours sleep.
The endocrinologists say he could have this for the rest of his life. AS I didnt HAVE gestational diabetes with him, the cause of this is a direct result of his distress (hormonal)
Has anyone heard of this condition? Some support would be wonderful!
